Release via flatpak - Githubissues

ford-prefect commented 7 years ago

It would be really neat if there could be releases via Flatpak, which should now be easier via Flathub

I already try to create flatpak some time ago here https://github.com/daa84/neovim-gtk-flatpak and find some issues that stops me.

Flatpak does not integrates well in desktop env (i mean color scheme and behavior of ubuntu)
There is no distribution service (maybe this is fixed by Flathub)
Because flatpak uses container - some restrictions exists - like problems with access to directories or neovim plugin installation
There is no integration with rust and this introduce strange things like download rust sdk and install it through build and cargo build also does not work without --share=network or vendoring that is strange
As dependency it is need to install neovim itself and to build it right way - it is need to list all dependencies of neovim inside flatpak So i decide to wait. Maybe some of this issues already solved. Think I'll check this again.

First attempt to make flatpak package. Currently only bundle https://github.com/daa84/neovim-gtk-flatpak/releases/download/v0.2.0-test1/nvim-gtk_x86_64.flatpak Add some description here Looks like it works, but i don't do full tests
